Who Sees The Lighthouse?
by: Ann Fearrington and Giles Laroche

Hardcover. NY, GP Putnam And Sons, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. his counting book has so much going for it that the inexplicable and jarring turn it takes at number seven is disappointing. Its most outstanding feature is Laroche's artwork-a mixture of drawing, painting, and paper-cutting on a variety of surfaces-that offers exquisite detail, from white-capped waves to feathery moth antennae to architectural features on the carefully rendered buildings. And there are more delights to this book: an afterword on the history of lighthouses; a key to the 11 found in the book; and handsome endpapers that list American lighthouses in continuous rows, state by state.
